According to the 1920 constitutional
amendment, Seminole County was to be "laid out from the Counties of Decatur and
Early." However, specific language in the constitutional amendment actually
provided that the southern borders of Miller and Early counties constituted
Seminole County's northern border. Thus, Seminole County was created entirely
from Decatur County. Georgia's 156th county was named for the Seminole Indians,
who once lived in this area.
